Right to Buy
What is the Preserved Right to Buy?
The Preserved Right to Buy scheme offers eligible tenants the opportunity to purchase their home at a lower price than the full market value. This is because the length of time you have spent as a tenant entitles you to a discount.
The maximum discount for the South East region is £75,000.
Who qualifies for the Preserved Right to Buy?
Tenants who were previously a secure tenant of a local authority and became an assured tenant because the ownership of their home was transferred to a registered social landlord may be eligible to purchase their home under the Preserved Right to Buy scheme. This only applies if you have remained a tenant with the same registered social landlord.
If you have moved to a property owned by a different registered social landlord then you would lose your Preserved Right to Buy.
